My apologies if this question is too broad but I tried to keep it specific:

How do I properly TMA a target if it isn't maintaining a straight course and a constant speed? More specificly, how do I even know that a target might not be zigzagging and altering speed?

For the speed part, since I know the tpk and could read it on the sonar, can I factor in the speed change, for example, by having varying length for each segments on the ruler?

Thanks in advance.
